Re: Ouch ! 35% price hike from British Gas
The problem I see with reversing it is people don't want higher taxes. They're hurting enough. A big bureaucratic, inefficient, state monopoly with no competition, no reason to improve prices, no reason to improve services is not something I want.
80% tax on petrol, pensions wrecked, alcohol tax, cigarette tax, increased car tax, abolition of 10p rate, doubling low income workers tax, more car tax, a retrospective one hitting those who can't afford to pay for a new car the hardest. Yes, people are going to struggle to pay gas prices.
